Сторінка 636 - S (Frank) FRGS— MATABELE LAND AND THE VICTORIA FALLS. A Naturalist's Wanderings in the Interior of South Africa.
Сторінка 583 - Not, however, on this account will the hydographer notice it ; but because the natural seaports of that vast interior, now thrown open to settlement, Keewatin, Manitoba, and other provinces unborn, must be sought there. York Factory, which is nearer Liverpool than New York, has been happily called by Professor H. Y. Hind, the Archangel of the West. The mouth of the Churchill, however, although somewhat further north, offers far superior natural advantages, and may more fitly challenge the title.
Сторінка ii - All Subscriptions are payable in advance, on the 1st of January in each year. The privileges of a Fellow include admission (with one Friend) to all ordinary Meetings of the Society, and the use of the Library and Map-room.

Сторінка 602 - Darwin well sums up, all the leading facts of distribution are clearly explicable under this theory ; such as the multiplication of new forms, the importance of barriers in forming and separating zoological and botanical provinces ; the concentration of related species in the same area; the linking together under different latitudes of the inhabitants of the plains and mountains, of the forests, marshes, and deserts, and the linking of these with the extinct beings which formerly inhabited the same...
Сторінка 583 - Territories, embracing hundreds of millions of acres of fine land, are capable of becoming the greatest wheatfield in the world. The centre of this immense agricultural region probably lies to the north of the Saskatchewan. If we look at the map of...
Сторінка 677 - These facts, when taken together, have long ago impressed me with an idea, that there must exist in the polar regions some general motion of the sea towards the west, causing the ice to set in that direction, when not impelled by contrary winds, or local and occasional currents, until it butts against those shores which are actually found to be most encumbered by it. In confirmation of this idea, I am enabled to adduce some more definite observations, which would appear to tend to the same result.
Сторінка ii - Candidates for admission into the Society must be proposed and seconded by Fellows, and it is necessary that the description and residence of such Candidate, should be clearly stated on their Certificates.
Сторінка 584 - America ; and it is very desirable, on national grounds, that it should be opened up. Troops have hitherto been sent to the Red River settlement on more than one occasion, by way of Hudson's Bay, while the intervening country was, as it is yet, in a state of nature. Were a short railway built through this tract, it would at once become, for military purposes, an easy connecting link with the Mother Country. " An impression has long prevailed that Hudson's Bay and Strait could not be navigated for...
Сторінка 584 - ... healthy nature of the climate for these animals, it is hoped this state of things will continue. The domestic animals in the United States and the older Canadian provinces being occasionally afflicted with contagious diseases, it becomes necessary for European countries to impose restrictions on their importation. In the event of an epidemic of this nature existing in some part of these regions, but not in the...
